In the spreadsheet application, the required headings are listed in the first row, and the data is listed in all subsequent rows. Do one of the following:

If you are modifying existing entries, then delete the rows that you do not want to modify. Do not delete the header row.

If you are adding entirely new entries, then delete all rows except for the header row.

For each group (or user or meeting) that you are importing, enter or modify the information in the appropriate fields.

If you are unsure about what to enter in any field, then we recommend that you delete that entire column (unless it is a required field). If you leave the field blank, then the system uses the default value, which may not be what you want. For descriptions and values of each field, see these sections:

Importing User Groups

Restriction

If the import file contains the tzcode header field, all user groups in the import file must have a valid entry for the field. For any invalid or blank tzcode values, the associated user group is not imported, and an error is logged.

Click Maintenance > Import Information > Group Profiles.

Enter values in the fields.

Click Execute.

Click OK to confirm your request to import records.

The system displays the import status and provides a link to the import log:

Importing Multiple User Profiles by Using the Import Process

You can import user profiles by using a spreadsheet in CSV text file format. This option can be useful for company mergers or for initial setup of user profiles when an external directory is not available for automatic profile creation during user authentication.

Before You Begin

Restrictions

If the import file contains the tzcode header field, all user profiles in the import file must have a valid entry for the field. For any invalid or blank tzcode values, the associated user profile is not imported, and an error is logged.

If the import file contains the grpnme, grpnum, or both header fields, all user profiles in the import file must have a valid entry for each included field. Specifically:

Import user groups before you import user profiles.

If any grpnme and grpnum fields are left blank in the import file, the associated user profiles are not imported, and an error is logged.

If any user groups that are specified in the grpnme and grpnum fields do not already exist in the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express database, the associated user profiles are not imported, and an error is logged.

If the import file does not contain the grpnme or grpnum header fields, the imported user profiles are automatically assigned to the preconfigured group called system.

Procedure

Log in to Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express and click Administration.

Click Maintenance > Import Information > User Profiles.

Enter values in the fields.

Click Execute.

Click OK to confirm your request to import records.

The system displays the import status and provides a link to the import log:

Click the link to view the import log, which you may print.

Click OK to close the page.

After you click OK, the import log can no longer be viewed or retrieved.

Deleting Multiple User Profiles by Using the Import Process

Before You Begin

Make sure that the import file contains only the user profiles that you want to delete.

Restrictions

You cannot delete the preconfigured admin and guest profiles, nor can you delete the user profile with which you are currently logged in.

If the import file contains the tzcode header field, all user profiles in the import file must have a valid entry for the field. For any invalid or blank tzcode values, the associated user profile is not imported, and an error is logged.

If the import file contains the grpnme, grpnum, or both header fields, all user profiles in the import file must have a valid entry for each included field. Specifically:

Import user groups before you import user profiles.

If any grpnme and grpnum fields are left blank in the import file, the associated user profiles are not imported, and an error is logged.

If any user groups that are specified in the grpnme and grpnum fields do not already exist in the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express database, the associated user profiles are not imported, and an error is logged.

If the import file does not contain the grpnme or grpnum header fields, the imported user profiles are automatically assigned to the preconfigured group called system.

Procedure

Log in to Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express and click Administration.

Click Maintenance > Import Information > User Profiles.

Enter values in the fields. In the Action to perform field, select Delete users from system.

Click Execute.

Importing and Scheduling Multiple Meetings by Using the Import Process

This topic describes how to schedule meetings by import. Although you can schedule meetings individually from the End-User Interface, you can schedule multiple meetings at one time by following this procedure.

Before You Begin

Restrictions

An imported meeting cannot be scheduled if any of the following conditions are true:

The SchedulerUid field in the import file is blank, and a substitute username is not configured in the Scheduler user ID field on the Import Meetings page.

There are not enough voice or web ports available for the imported meeting.

If the username in the SchedulerUid field does not correspond to an existing user profile, the import process replaces the SchedulerUid entry with the value entered in the Scheduler user ID field on the Import Meetings page.

Continuous and recurring meetings are scheduled starting from the current time; meeting information from the past is not imported.

When recurring meetings are imported to Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express, each occurrence in the import file is scheduled as an individual meeting with no recurrence pattern.

Procedure

Log in to Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express and click Administration.

Click Maintenance > Import Information > Meetings.

Enter values in the field.

Click Execute.

Click OK to confirm your request to import the meeting records.

The system displays the import status and provides a link to the meeting import log:

Click the link to view the import log, which you may print.

Click OK to close the page.

After you click OK, the meeting import log can no longer be viewed or retrieved.

Importing System Configuration

This page is used to import a system configuration, which consists of the following information: usage configuration, meeting configuration, H.323 call configuration, SIP call configuration, ad hoc meeting configuration, dial configuration, and media parameter configuration.

If any of these settings are missing in the import file, the system ignores them. The system displays warning messages for conditions such as missing parameters, invalid parameter values, and inconsistencies.
